PFL claim filed 4 weeks ago, no response yet. Normal wait time?

I found a way to solve paid family leave processing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMCsL8VUHTw

Ugh, I feel ya. I filed for PFL about 2 months ago and it took FOREVER to hear back. Like, seriously, why does it take so long? 🙄 I finally got my first payment after 6 weeks. Hang in there!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to know about PFL processing times and what to expect: • Normal processing time is 2-3 weeks, but can be longer during busy periods • You should receive a notice of computation within 10 days of filing • If your claim is incomplete, you'll get a request for additional info • First payments are typically issued within 14 days of claim approval • Check your online account for status updates • If it's been over 3 weeks with no update, try calling the PFL office Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

have u tried checkin ur spam folder? sometimes their emails end up there 🤷‍♂️

The whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 2 months and still nothing. They don't care about us at all. 🤬

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open. I got through after only a 20 min wait doing this!

Anyone else notice that the online portal is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Hey OP, did you make sure to have your employer fill out their portion of the form? I forgot to do that and it delayed my claim by weeks 😅

Guys, I just saw on Twitter that they're implementing a new system next month that's supposed to speed up processing times. Fingers crossed it actually works! 🤞
